We explicitly hack around to remove them, so might as well check that
the hack is useful.
(Introduced because I feared that the changes of
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5906#discussion_r784810238 would bring
back some runtime references)

gives about 1% improvement on system eval, a bit less on nix search.

use a sorted array of symbols to be removed instead of a set. this saves a lot
of memory allocations and slightly speeds up removal.

`nix why-depends` is piping its output into a pager by default.
However the pager was only started after the first path is printed,
causing it to be excluded from the pager output.
(Actually the pager was started *inside* the recursive function that was
printing the dependency chain, so a new instance was started at each
level. It’s a little miracle that it worked at all).
Fix #5911

mainly to avoid an allocation and a copy of a string that can be
modified in place (ever since EvalState holds on to the buffer, not the
generated parser itself).

when given a string yacc will copy the entire input to a newly allocated
location so that it can add a second terminating NUL byte. since the
parser is a very internal thing to EvalState we can ensure that having
two terminating NUL bytes is always possible without copying, and have
the parser itself merely check that the expected NULs are present.

every stringy token the lexer returns is turned into a Symbol and not
used further, so we don't have to strdup. using a string_view is
sufficient, but due to limitations of the current parser we have to use
a POD type that holds the same information.
gives ~2% on system build, 6% on search, 8% on parsing alone

the temporary will be discarded anyway, so we can move out of it and save many
small allocations and copies.
|
|
symbols can also be cast to string_view, which compares the same but doesn't
require a copy of both symbol names on every comparison.
|
|
there's a few symbols in primops we can create once and pick them out of
EvalState afterwards instead of creating them every time we need them. this
gives almost 1% speedup to an uncached nix search.
|
|
there's a couple places that can be easily converted from using strings to using
string_views instead. gives a slight (~1%) boost to system eval.

Release Notes 2.4: add `--indirect` no-op change
|
|
Since
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/00d25e84577659ccf0bc360c61c47b6cd25d1c26
which was first included in nix 2.4.
It is a backwards-compatible change since the flag will just be
ignored.
|
|
avoid std::?stream overhead when it's not helpful
|
|
this avoids one copy from `s` into `str`, and possibly another copy needed to
construct `s` at the call site. lexical_cast is also more efficient in general.
|
|
constructing an ostringstream for non-string concats (like integer addition) is
a small constant cost that we can avoid. for string concats we can keep all the
string temporaries we get from coerceToString and concatenate them in one go,
which saves a lot of intermediate temporaries and copies in ostringstream. we
can also avoid copying the concatenated string again by directly allocating it
in GC memory and moving ownership of the concatenated string into the target
value.
saves about 2% on system eval.

The logical implication operator is included in this section but never explained. It might stump new readers with a pretty uncommon operator, and it's never referenced explicitly.
|
|
Check for `--meta` before emitting it for `--json`
|
|
Make --repair-path also repair corrupt optimised links
|
|
|
|
There already existed a smoke test for the link content length,
but it appears that there exists some corruptions pernicious enough
to replace the file content with zeros, and keeping the same length.
--repair-path now goes as far as checking the content of the link,
making it true to its name and actually repairing the path for such
coruption cases.

This causes a recursive call to ensurePath(), which is not a good
idea.

we don't have to create an ostream sentry object for every character of a JSON
string we write. format a bunch of characters and flush them to the stream all
at once instead.
this doesn't affect small numbers of string characters, but larger numbers of
total JSON string characters written gain a lot. at 1MB of total string written
we gain almost 30%, at 16MB it's almost a factor of 3x. large numbers of JSON
string characters do occur naturally in a nixos system evaluation to generate
documentation (though this is now somewhat mitigated by caching the largest part
of nixos option docs).
